A new exhibit by avant-garde artist Matthew Barney is opening at Yale University Art Gallery on March 1 and will run until June 16. As part of the exhibit, the gallery will show Barney’s new film in several public screenings throughout the run of the show.

“Redoubt” is an adaptation of the myth of Diana, Greek goddess of the hunt. It tells the story of a wolf hunt and was filmed in Idaho’s Sawtooth Mountains. It stars award-winning sharpshooter Anette Wachter in the lead role.

The 134-minute, dialogue-free film will be shown March 2 at 1:30 and 6 p.m. at the museum at 1111 Chapel St. in New Haven. Tickets for both of those screenings will be handed out in the museum’s lobby beginning at 11 a.m. that day. Admission to both the museum and the screenings are free.

On March 2 only, Barney will be present for a talk at 4 p.m. Admission to his talk is free but a ticket is required. That talk also will be simulcast to the Loria Center around the corner on 190 York St.

The movie also will be shown at 1:30 p.m. every Saturday during the run of the exhibit except June 8; on March 7, April 24, and June 6 at 5:30 p.m.; and March 20 at 12:30 p.m. Free. artgallery.yale.edu.
